RR --> R&R

The harmless prelude to the main event:

Lunch at Serangoon Gardens Market

Then, at about 5pm (after her exit interview) KN returned to her desk only to discover something terrifying plastered on her monitor:

*cue evil music*

A final get-out-of-jail task!

Will KN solve all the clues, complete the trying tasks set by the clue-holders, save herself and get to her prize?? Stay tuned to find out...

1. Lunchtime marathon runner: BB (who else but Boorathon himself?)

KN's task: to hold the cow and the tissue box over her head, walk a short distance around the office and say "Moo"

2. Wears gloves: RB (Err... we don't know why though...)

But he was out of station so XW took over

KN's task: to write 100 words about her first impressions of him, and (optional) tidy up the stationery and books on his desk. (Fyi: she wrote the thing and tidied up a couple of pens.)

3. Dances with skeletons (and does yoga with them too!): MV

KN's task: to do a yoga pose (note the expression on her face)

Err... is this a yoga pose or a plea for mercy?

4. Quiet Biology guy: SH


KN's task: to sing a song (Copacabana)

5. Director of Bicara: II

KN's task: (another clue holder out of station, so KN got off easy) to look around his desk for the clue

6. The force that punches and binds: NH

KN's task: to give NH a shoulder massage

7. FP: MN

KN's task: to turn into Mad Hatter

8. Yellow Bird: AA.

KN's task: to do the Yellow Bird Dance

AA shows how it's done

*Flap flap flap*

9. Physics Launch emcee: VB


KN's task: to French the Dutch [after some vehement protests from her, it was reduced to touch (Dutch) the Dutch]

Dutching the Dutch

10. Don't dutch me, french me!: RB

KN's task: to solve a brain teaser

Thinking... and thinking...

11. Oolong tea: CC

KN's task: to solve three riddles

KN: (thinking) "What the-?!"
CC: *evil laugh*


12. Will Smith wallpaper: NN


KN's task: To do a rap ala Will Smith

13. Just married: ES

The answer's in the ring

KN's task: to answer one last question

Final task

... so that we can all help her look!

For the record, the guy who wins her heart will need to: love her more than she loves him, be caring, kind and generous (the last factor towards her only!)

14. Final clue: www.powerpuffpomme.wordpress.com (the farewell 'card')

Oh yes, since the most interesting task wasn't captured properly on camera, we got 'em to do a re-err-Dutch:

Boing Going

It's 6.03 pm and the 'star' of the farewell is nowhere to be found...

So, everyone waited...

and waited...

Finally, at 6.30 pm, RB was released from his exit interview with the HR person (female, it figures...)

He's here!

KN hands him the decoy 'normal' card

GK hands him his 'only' present -- a regular mug

"Who wrote this (poem on the card)?" (hopeful)
"Err..." (awkward silence from crowd)
"Oh..." (on seeing the 'Memory Lane' logo at the back of the card)

The poor thing trying to mask his disappointment

The evil people making him suffer

Turns out HE prepared presents for the PTM!

Guilty faces

"Wait, give out the presents slowly so MV can take a shot!"

XW gets her pressie

"Since you gave us presents, this is for you..."

RB finally gets the special giant card and some RSH vouchers

*Happy for real now*

RB reads out the (original) poem and turns red upon reading para 3

Rowdy and the giant card
